Seabourn adds 2026 Antarctica sailing

March departure offers wildlife-spotting opportunities

Luxury and expedition cruise line Seabourn has added an additional Antarctica departure on its purpose-built ship, Seabourn Venture.

The extra 11-day voyage rums from10 to 21 March 2026, and is available to book now on Seabourn’s website. Called The Great White Continent, the cruise costs from US$10,800.

Robin West, Seabourn’s vice-president and general manager of expeditions, said: “Exploring Antarctica in March offers a unique opportunity to witness the stunning landscapes as they transition into winter.

“This period is ideal for observing peak whale activity, with potential sightings of humpback whales and orcas, along with gentoo penguins and Antarctic fur seals.

“Our Antarctica expedition voyages are incredibly popular, and we encourage guests to seize this chance to experience this remarkable continent and learn about the historic voyages of renowned explorers James Weddell, Otto Nordenskjöld and Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen.”

Between November 2025 and March 2026, Seabourn Venture, along with sister ship Seabourn Pursuit, will offer a series of 11-, 13- and 21-day voyages to Antarctica.

All voyages include a pre-cruise charter hotel stay in Buenos Aires and roundtrip charter flights to Ushuaia, from where the ship will depart.

Every Seabourn voyage to Antarctica includes Zodiac outings to cruise among icebergs and landings to join the ship’s Expedition Team. Optional kayaking and submarine excursions will also be available.

Seabourn’s Antarctica expedition voyages will also offer the new ‘Image Masters’ photography workshop.
